Additional Qualification Information

This qualification and learning outcomes are based on the recommendations of the Resuscitation Council (UK) and Skills for Health Assessment Principles for First Aid Qualifications, and is specifically designed to meet the requirements of the Department for Education's EYFS Framework.

This qualification is for people who have a specific responsibility at work, or in voluntary and community activities, to provide first aid to children (including babies) when dealing with an emergency situation, chronic or sudden paediatric illness or Paediatric injury.

It comprises 2 mandatory units with a total value of 2 credits. On successful completion candidates are awarded a certificate that is valid for three years.

Minimum contact teaching hours apply to this qualification. The training takes 12 hours, usually delivered in two full days, but by arrangement this can be split into more sessions (additional charges apply).

Full Face-to-face - in your setting:

In this mode, it's delivered in two 6-hour training days (usually starting at 9am). By arrangement this can be split into more sessions (additional charges apply). It is primarily available on your premises in the East Anglia, Greater London and Midlands areas. However if you have a specific requirement, do get in touch, and we'll let you know if we can travel out to you, and will provide you with a quote including all training, course materials, certificates and expenses.

Full Face-to-face - at our venue in Bedford:

This is the same course as above, however we run periodic courses at our venue in Bedford. This can be more cost-effective if you have between one and four staff who need their training. If you don't see a date to suit you on our Bedfordshire course schedule, don't worry - get in touch and we'll do our best to help.

Our 12-hour blended Paediatric course is suitable for the same audience as the 2-day course above, but has the benefit of only requiring one day of face-to-face training. The remainder of the content is taught through an online module that you can start, pause and resume as often as you like for the duration of your licence.

This benefits those who find it more difficult to block out full days of training for staff, have limited training room availability, or who like to learn online at their own pace.

Face-to-face Course Syllabus

The face-to-face day provides enhanced learning carrying on from the e-learning module, and adds practical and multiple choice assessments. The content includes:
